The article could be clearer, but as far as I can tell, Assad-associated officers have been killed, and those doing the killing have been arrested? If that’s correct, I’m not sure I see a structural problem here (and it’s kind of hard to dig up sympathy for those running the previous regime…), but I might be mistaken.

Ooh, pretty

Case in fucking point

That’s quality promotional footage. Jeez

Yeah, the fires are not in question, but lack of satellites or thick cloud cover as another user suggested is probably why they’re not showing up.

nvm, found it in another post: https://goo.gl/maps/WsGNEQ9VyDY81Wbv9

Edit: no fires on FIRMS though:

Anyone know why?

Anyone know the coordinates? I tried to find this in FIRMS, but no luck

Sorry if I missed it, but did you have plans for a daily-ish summary of world events? Something like the lede of news articles before clickbait ruined everything…

I am also given to understand that I should have perhaps made such at thing corkscrew shaped, but I am very sorry to inform you that I didn’t do this, either.

My Disappointment Is Immeasurable And My Day Is Ruined

Should just send them to Russia directly, skip the middle man

That’s neat! How do you get it out? Is there a secret button?

It’s Russia, I don’t think anybody isn’t sure of that?

But what exactly would happen? Would the AG he picks prosecute? Would Congress impeach and convict? I can’t see it happening, no matter what evidence is leaked or officially published. Would the base leave him and lose him leverage over primaries and elections? Honestly, I don’t think so, as that would require his supporters to accept negative information about him, and so far they’ve been fairly impervious…

I wondered the other day - what possible kompromat could they have that gives them any leverage now? He won’t be prosecuted, and his base evidently does not care (and won’t matter as much now that he’s been reelected), so even if they have video evidence of murder or CSA, I don’t see it harming him…

On the other hand, it increases the chance you’re around when the worst thing inevitably happens.

Damn, he looks worn out
